Solaris /bin/sh is one of those ancient shells. Python works fine on Solaris. Or you can edit everything to look for /usr/xpg4/bin/ksh, if it's there. Have fun.

i dont need to edit anything when using autotools.  it's already aware of the Solaris
idiosyncrasy to store up-to-date utilities in /usr/xpg4/bin/.  with literally no effort on my
part or anyone building one of my projects on Solaris, autotools will locate that directory
and use those utilities.  fantastic ! :)
